The co-holder of the copyright in this volume is ABC Sports, which may explain something of the impetus behind its production. It is wide-ranging in its topics (choreography, costume, history, "great moments"), and has lots of celeb value. Introduction by Peggy Fleming, and Michelle Kwan on the cover.

[Ryan Stevens · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of two books that anyone truly interested in American figure skating history should have in their collection. The other, of course, being Benjamin T. Wright's "Skating in America".
